Everyone wants to be an effective worship leader.
Except for those that are not worship leaders I suppose.
There are plenty of blog posts about being an effective worship, how to fail as a worship leader and if you’re worship leader is a superstar wannabe.
But Carlos Whittaker, aka: Los Whit, aka: Ragamuffin Soul, has finally narrowed all these down to 7 Keys To Becoming An Effective Leader Of Worship:
They way our world communicates is rapidly changing and if the Church doesn’t take notice and change it’s communication style, we will fail to reach the world.
